I think I know what you're asking--does this Q&A answer your question?
Q: Figure 4-1 shows short segments of bumper on each side of an opening. 4.1.6 says that the minimum length of bumper is 8". But does the 8" include the part of of the bumper that overlaps with a bumper on the adjacent side, or only the part that is backed up by the chassis? A measurement added to Figure 4-1 would be really helpful.
A. The 8 in. specified in Rule [R27] does not include overlapping sections of bumper material found at an exterior vertex.

Make sure that your bumper pads are all set to the right high of the wood and that your way to strap them is extra secure our team had trouble with that last year
